Dog Assistant needed for Fun Celebrity Family in Beverly Hills

Filled

Posted : 01/02/23

This is the DREAM JOB for a Dog lover! Our client travels extensively for work, they have Nannies for their children, and now they are about to welcome two Puppies into their family, so they need a Dog Assistant!

You will be in charge of meals, ordering their food, taking them to the park to run around, booking and taking them to the Vet, giving them any meds, and implementing any training.

These Puppies are currently being trained, so they will come to the family already potty trained and knowing some commands!

Your schedule will be Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm, plus someone that can stay over at the gorgeous home in Beverly Hills when the family travels. You will be paid OT for those extra hours!

The family is offering $30-35 an hour, on payroll, plus health insurance, 2 weeks paid vacation, holidays and sick days.

The right person for this role is warm, organized, patient, active, loves dogs (maybe even more than humans!,) and is a great team player as you’ll be interacting with a sizable estate staff. You will be also happy to help around the house – some of the children might need a ride, or drop off an exchange, be at the house to sign for FedEx, just be an extra pair of helpful, happy hands.

You have a clear background check, are vaccinated and boosted for Covid, and have a car that will fit 2 Medium/Large Dogs once they grow to full size.

Please let us know why this is your dream job! (Ideally, you have at least 2-3+ years working as a Personal Assistant, Nanny or Housekeeper.)
